It's just a racist stereotype favoured by some around here to characterize the Williams sisters.

Nastase had federer's talent, but unfortunately he had a McEnroe type temperament, only worse. A true genius with his raquet. Wish you could get some Nastase on Video now.

I was shocked to see that Borg only appeared on one list!!!! I think he won Wimbledon 5 years in a row and the French 6 times (something like that). He completely dominated Lendl. He made it to five or six US Open Finals...and he Finally lost wimbledon to Mcenroe in the Wibledon finals (He beat Mcenroe the year before employing a serve and volley game). He basically invented the topspin shot . He did all of this by I believe the ripe old age of 27(It would have been scary to see his record had he not retired)!!! I think Federer or anyone else will have a hard time equaling that record by the age of 27. Borg is the most underestimated and overlooked tennis player of our time. He is not talked about as much as his contemporaries like Mcenroe , Connors and Lendl yet he may be one of the greatest players that tennis has ever seen or will ever see again.
Finally people are going to freak out but I dont think Lendl should be on the list. He never won Wimbledon. In my book you just cannot be considered an all-timer if you don't win Wimbledon. Its the world series of tennis. Here's my top ten (not in any order):

1. Borg
2. Mcenroe
3. Connors
4. Sampras
5. Agassi
6. Laver
7. Tilden
8. Becker
9. Federer
10 Edberg
